Does anyone know what type of chip this is? I have tried googling the IDs on it, but haven't found anything yet.

It is a flash memory chip, likely used to store the system's BIOS .

That is a Flash memory. https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/527378/MXIC/28F2000PPC/1
And unless it has some wonky hardware -dual bios, is a specialty board with some extra funcionality or something like that - that is your boards bios. Or where it should be stored.

Probably flash bios chip as others have said. I think I’ve seen a few motherboards use them for network or onboard raid roms also though
